About this listen

Kristy and Jon dive into Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a sweeping novel set in NASA’s 1980s shuttle program. They unpack Joan Goodwin’s path from professor to astronaut, the heartbreaking tension of mission STS-LR9, and the slow-burn love story that had them publicly sobbing by the pool. With laughs, tears, and plenty of side-eye for Barbara, they explore ambition, sacrifice, and what it means to find love among the stars.
